Top Spring Baits For Finesse Fishing

Spring is prime time to go fishing and these baits will help you catch more fish! Don't worry about trying a dozen different baits, focus on these key categories, especially when the conditions get tough!

Many anglers think of Spring as the time get out and power fish. While this is a great plan, it doesn't always pan out. Its important to have a backup plan so you don't struggle when conditions change. If you're ready to adapt and drop down to finesse tackle, you'll become much more consistent through the Spring, Summer, and beyond.

Dropshot Tips For Big Bass With Ross England

Matt recently met up with Ross England on Clearlake to talk about dropshot fishing. Many anglers know how to do it but few realize the big bass potential of such a small offering. Ross has unlocked the keys to consistently catching large bass with this finesse technique.

In this video Ross explains how he sets up his dropshot, gives an overview of his gear, and gives some tips on how to present the bait for bigger fish.

The next time you're on the water and the conditions aren't ideal, consider implementing this method and you might just catch a giant and save the day!
